Chapter 298 The Beauty of White Eagle Territory

In the dead of winter, the weather was freezing cold.

White Eagle Territory, Pompeii.

Although the city hall had financial resources and manpower, and there were developers such as the Morgan family, the Habsburg family, Miss Alice, and six families, a large group of people worked hard to develop Pompeii's real estate.

And the houses built did not need to be beautiful. They could be built with wood, painted, or carved with patterns. They could be delivered directly.

However, due to time constraints, the progress of house construction was still very slow. Currently, only half of the area within the walls of Pompeii had houses and buildings.

Elsewhere, they were still tents.

Many nobles lived in tents, which were neither decent nor very cold.

But the nobles had no complaints.

You must know that the entire kingdom is now in war, and in Orange, there are only three places left for nobles to stay.

The Earldom of Libya, the Dukedom of Ferger, and the White Eagle Territory where they were.

How many nobles were killed or even exterminated. Having a place to stay and a cup of hot soup to drink was enough to satisfy them.

Besides, the house would be built in a little while.

Especially when the nobles looked up at the sky, they felt more at ease.

It was midwinter and very cold. The sky of Pompeii was full of strong winds, but the height was very high and could not affect Pompeii.

And the range was limited to the sky above Pompeii.

The howling wind made a harsh sound.

That was the magic of the Eagle King.

But it gave the nobles an extremely reassuring feeling. The White Eagle Territory was so powerful.

"Selling firewood, selling firewood. Does anyone want to buy firewood?" There were also many vendors pushing carts between the tents, selling firewood.

Living in a tent was very cold, and burning fire was a good way to keep warm, and it could also be used to make hot soup.

The nobles had money, but they were willing to spend money even if they didn't have firewood. Ordinary people who have physical strength and connections can also find ways to collect the leftover wood scraps after building the villa and sell them.

This supply and demand relationship is very good.

The nobles get warmth, and the people get coins.

In short, Pompeii now is the nobles, and the people can get what they need, which is very stable and beautiful.

Town Hall.

This town hall will be demolished soon. After the demolition, villas will be built and then sold.

Because it is too crowded here, it can no longer keep up with the development of Pompeii. The new town hall will be located near the new lord's castle and will be a large building.

But at this moment, this old town hall is still in use. People come and go in the town hall, including nobles and civilians. The same thing is that they are all here to do business.

The officials who received them were also very kind, which is also the practice of Pompeii different from many noble territories.

Many officials in the territories are arrogant.

The officials of Pompeii are very kind, which also makes Pompeii win a lot of popularity.

On the second floor, in the mayor's office.

Mayor Lelouch is talking to an official under him.

The mayor has always been very graceful. In order to match his status, he also grew two big mustaches. Luther once made fun of the mayor for pretending to be mature.

But in such cold weather, the mayor was no longer graceful and wrapped himself up like a dumpling, chubby.

But the mayor still felt cold. He shivered from time to time with a cup of hot tea in his hand.

He thought. "I will ask Luther to fulfill his promise and buy me a potion to become a knight."

Last time, Luther promised to provide Lelouch with a potion to turn him into a knight.

This is the mayor's welfare.

He was distracted for a while, but the mayor did not forget what he had to do. He looked up and said to the official in front of him: "Have all the personnel been arranged?"

"Everything has been arranged. The city halls at all levels will arrange a large number of people to go to the villages to give speeches and promote Pompeii's agricultural concept. In addition, the city hall will control the slaughter of Bass cattle and the number of Bass cattle."

The official replied.

Promoting the agricultural concept of Pompeii Territory to the entire White Eagle Territory was a goal that Luther had set before, and now Lulu is correcting it.

"Mr. Mayor, if we promote Pompeii's agricultural concept, we will face many social problems next year." The official said immediately.

"I know."

Lelouch smiled and nodded, stood up from the chair, stretched his cold legs, and said: "With the increase in food production, although the farmers are full, the price of food will also fall, and the farmers will not make money. In that case, the number of agricultural workers will decrease, and the number of migrant workers will increase. At present, there are not many factories in the White Eagle Territory, so there will be some chaos. But it doesn't matter. Our governor is very rich. He will open factories to make use of these manpower and make money. If there are business opportunities, a large number of businessmen will also flock to the White Eagle Territory to set up factories. This will solve the supply and demand problem."

"There will be some chaos in society, but it will eventually stabilize. At that time, the White Eagle Territory will be more beautiful."

"And the second problem is that serfs will be worthless."

"But there is no need to worry. Our governor has plenty of money. He will eat up as many serfs as he can."

At present, the entire Prussian Kingdom is in a period of great turmoil. The nobles and wealthy landowners use serfs to cultivate the fields and make money for themselves.

In the areas occupied by the New Party, the New Party has begun to liberate serfs. Very brutal liberation of serfs, issuing laws to turn serfs into freemen.

Those who used serfs were put to death.

This was different from Luther at the beginning. Luther liberated his own serfs and did not ask everyone to liberate serfs together.

So it would not cause social conflicts.

The New Party's approach has aggravated the conflict with the nobles.

In short, they are two forces that cannot be merged.

I'm getting off topic.

The current situation in the White Eagle Territory is that with the influx of a large number of people, the entire territory needs a large amount of food, so the White Eagle Territory needs a big harvest next year.

But with the promotion of Pompeii's agricultural concept, next year will be a big harvest.

Even with the current population of the White Eagle Territory, it is impossible to digest the food. The drop in food prices will not only make civilians unwilling to farm, but choose to work.

It will also cause those nobles, businessmen, and landlords who have land to make no money. They may abandon the land or sell the land to free up money for other businesses.

In this way, their serfs will be useless. If a large number of serfs are put into the market, the price of serfs will plummet.

Luther can buy these serfs, whether they are used to organize farming or to turn them into workers, they are very useful.

In short, these two are social problems, but as long as Luther has money, he can solve the whole problem.

So, working under a rich lord is also a happy thing.

The following words are free of charge.

First of all, thank you for voting. The recommended votes have reached 10,000, which is super satisfying.

In addition, this chapter also explains the serf problem. Many people think that the author has a brain problem and liberates the serfs.

I have repeatedly explained in previous chapters that serfs have low production efficiency and need supervisors. Although the serfs were liberated and became free people. Luther seems to have lost a lot of money at once, but he can get back what he lost in a few years of taxation.

Moreover, Luther sold his own serfs, not asking the nobles to do it together.

The son does not feel bad when selling his father's land. Luther liberated his property, what does it have to do with other nobles? The nobles at most thought that Luther was a prodigal.

Besides, I have always believed that land is the least valuable. If you open a factory and turn serfs into workers to make money, you will only make more money.

So why do you have to let a group of serfs who are hungry, cold, and living a life worse than death enjoy a well-off life?

What do you need so many slaves for?

Also, although it looks like a medieval template, the ranks of the nobles are set by myself. Copying our Zhou Dynasty, the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty were all independent.

But the titles are different. During the Spring and Autumn period, it was normal for the Bo to kill the Hou.

The earliest title of the Chu State, one of the seven major powers in the Warring States Period, was still Zi.

In short, this book was set by myself.
